hmmmmmm

(although it looked like Drury wasn't even close to the puck - still, that should be interference and that's it). Is there a video with a closer view by any chance?

Drury got nailed by Neil a couple of years ago - he was blindsided as well, but it was much much worse IMO.

thats it the NHl is now the SHL (Sissy Hockey League). Ive seen harder "hits" by novice players on a girls team in a handicapped league. I mean really

<shrugs> ....didn't have the puck when he was hit. 2 minutes maybe but suspension?

Looked like a questionable hit to me. Maybe not headhunting, but there's definitely extra shoulder thrown into the mix.

There is a rule (although rarely used) for a 5-minute major for interference. That would be the appropriate call here. All penalties involving injury are supposed to be majors and should result in a suspension of some sort. It wasn't horribly nasty, but penalyzing this type of a hit is a good idea. It sends a message that you can't hit vulnerable players.

Only because you were playing in that league.
